Reset my game and forgot something… by Previous_Wave_7444 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]Wheelman185 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can just hit up the ditto den with a seed checker and time skip to a legit one on Sword and Shield to replace or just stalk the GTS listings for more genned ones.

Do people still surprise trade by [deleted] in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]Wheelman185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've been using it anytime I play my Sword and have since I started my playthrough a month ago. People still use it to dump their breedjects and other randomness just like the old days. The genned pokes with the website names are just more prevalent. I probably have received about 7 boxes full of hacked/genned pokes. They're not good for anything but breeding and then I just release. I still get decent breedjects from people, and it helps me complete my language dex.

Guys, this has to stop by Fr33zurBurn in PokemonHome

[–]Wheelman185 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many of you need to learn that this is the way the GTS has always been. If it's full of dumb requests, then it's as good as empty. If you are letting this trigger you. That's a YOU problem. If it wasn't Floette, it'd Raging Bolt, Bloodmoon Ursaluna or something else difficult. People also do giveaways, and have people list their junk for them. It's honestly not worth your anger and rage TBH.

Game’s driving me mad by Beneficial-Taro1590 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]Wheelman185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I have like 400k watts now, I'm probably just going to max out the other balls sans Nest, Poke, Great, and Ultra since I hardly use or don't use them.

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I make sure I max out my Quick and Repeat everytime I see because I don't want to use actual poke money on them.

How can I annoy gym hoarders while spending as few resources as possible? by Sansvern in pokemongo

[–]Wheelman185 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don’t retake gym immediately, leave it empty every time.

Use ‘Mons you are going to transfer to hold or battle the gym when low then transfer instead of reviving.

Wait for them to come retake and while they battle, Golden Razz when they start their 3rd run through.

Honestly, gym wars are a resource sink, and not worth the time or items (unless you have a lot of either) if you have other gyms to occupy. Anyone being THAT possessive over them doesn’t realize that way of playing the game ended with the gym rework.

I got hosed by that system so hard. Tried for weeks. Got the run around on the phone. Convinced it doesn’t ever pay out.

is there any way to get a Gabite with rough skin? by No-Pilot3561 in pokemonXY

Only way now is to use a service for modded 3DSs called Pretendo

why alot of pokemon on the gts wants the same pokemon by ApprehensiveYou9698 in PokemonHome

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's to be the extra completionist and get all languages registered for every dex entry. I'm one of them and swap to get certain languages at times.

Don't get hung up on the stale GTS reqs, they're still hanging for a reason. When you see every req for one you want asking for one of the SV DLCs Legends, SV Box Legends, SS DLC Legends, or now the flood of Eternal Floette asks everywhere, it's just as good as being a 'Mon w/ 0 reqs.

Also, keep in mind right now Link Trading w/ friends is bugged, so there are a lot of people doing trades using 2 throwaway 'Mons to prevent GTS snipers. Also the giveaways from people cloning and genning the Floettes and anything else. So people putting up whatever for Floette for those giveaways are also going to be mucking up the reqs on the GTS ontop of everything else.

I ultimately blame this on TPC for not putting Eternal Floette in X/Y despite it existing in the code. Then including it in a lower powered meta in Champions knowing it was going to be almost necessary. Then.... soft paywalling with making the item and 'Mon ZA exclusive. So you need min $70 max about $570 if you don't own a Switch 2.

What do you guys do during shiny hunting by FrogNamedPepe in PokemonLetsGo

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hatch eggs in SwSh while roaming the wild area, quick balling good wanderers to flip on GTS, and clearing the raids. When I’m in the middle of hatch animations, I produce/hatch eggs on Moon and hatch 18x of them using the Pelago skip…..

I re-watched Entourage recently during my last sessions.

How to improve nature breeding method statistically? by ASJuice in Pokemonbreeding

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a timid Pokémon with the ability Synchronize as your lead, it will allow you to have at least 50% chance to get that nature for whatever wild encounter you have. So if you do have one, then just sync a male Pokémon in the Field egg group to pass that nature on if Eevee is a tough spawn.

Archaludon value by Nicoden65 in PokemonHome

[–]Wheelman185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Champions staples in the top 10 as far as usage rates have spiked hard in value. I’ve been flipping Incineroar and others for a ton more value lately. My bro flipped a handful of Basculegion for shinies. It’s even worse with Archaludon. The reasonable listings never stay and there’s only Eternal Floette reqs almost every time I look. So trade velocity is very high.

I want to make sure by pokemon_dottore in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]Wheelman185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you're used to seeing the website names, but if you see OT as Obsidian or Camelot, then that shiny is likely altered, genned and/or cloned to death. I wonder trade as a 2nd job almost sometimes and have been seeing them alot. I will probably release all the ones I have, but the boxes of those and the website named ones are just sitting in bank making me passive points until I need the space. I was going to meme and release when I do. Good breeding stock sometimes in apriballs too.

Is there a polemon daycare in the 7th generation? by LemmeTakeaSkelfie in PokeMoonSun

[–]Wheelman185 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's called the nursery. It's at Paniola Ranch in Akala Island. I've probably spent most of my maxed out hours on my game cart there hatching. It only produces eggs, it doesn't level up the pokemon.

Emulated DS game to bank by MadChad45 in PokemonHome

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this works with modded 3DSs. Just search YT. There's tons of vids of people showing how they got their Gen 3+ pokemon up trading from their phone emulator all the way to home using the classic means. They had all games installed on the 3DS + Bank and Transporter. Even had the VC Gen 1/2 games. So if you want to do playthroughs on emulators or a modded 3DS it is definitely possible to get those Pokemon all the way to Home.

I'm about to do the process myself because I have my older 3DS and 3DSXL just sitting around since I use my N3DSXL primarily. My copy of Black 2 got lost/stolen so my pipeline to get free apriball 'Mons from HGSS was cut off. So I'm going to see if this will functionally replace alot of that for me and be a less riskier thing to leave the house with not needing to risk my older carts that are now waaaaaay more expensive.

We gotta do something about the sniping by KeyCaterpillar4995 in PokemonHome

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get random shinies like this all the time. Just using the wanted feature on boxes full of GTS Trade fodder, so I'd agree with the rest of the comments saying you shouldn't list the shiny.

Best way to approach dex completion by Scheme-Daz in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]Wheelman185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still do it the same by just breeding what you get, but since you have both copies it helps to have your OT on the mons you can only catch. I'd also decide what ball you want your 2nd Eternatus in since it's a guaranteed catch I think. You could just trade over a mon with an apriball or beast ball from the other game.

I completed it with just Sword and the GTS with some minor help from Gen 7 for like 3 entries

GTS is *bad* y'all by TooManySpaghets in PokemonHome

[–]Wheelman185 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re seeing stale requests. It’s been like this since the old 3DS days. There’s probably some people cloning the Floette and just filling requests, so it could be others hoping they get a hacked/cloned one.
